Hello Keni,

Thanks for your prompt response.

Please, during your application, how did you treat this part of the application:



I understand that payment is by credit card. That after they must have received the application, they will respond via mail with my reference number and requesting me to make payment by filling my credit card details in a fax payment form to be sent to me then. So, am I required to fill the credit card details now in this application stage?

Also, kindly share with us, how long did it take you from application till today you received the ECA.

Thanks and kind regards.

keni:

When I filled my application I just typed Canadian Immigration and All Canadian Provinces
The extra $75 will enable them courier the ECA to you because they wont send you soft copy. Funny enough I just went to UPS to collect mine today at UPS office when I tracked and I saw the thing hanging in their office due to incomplete address (na road my house de o) they said the address is not popular.

Some Provinces need particular CRS to apply like Ontario. I suggest you put your info like job reference, IELTS test result, ECA etc together. About 3 or 4 Provinces will open next year January.

Ontario at the default instance require you to have 400 crs to be eligible to be invited to submit your application to OINP

But there are exceptions to this default rule.

If you meet some other select criteria and are able withdraw your profile and recreate another one whilst the program is open and receiving applications, even with scores within the region of 385 more/less, your EE profile (with less than 400) may be picked to submit an application to OINP.


(NB: Perchance, you are interested in Ontario's OINP, you may want to research it up and follow the CANADIAN PNP thread grin grin)


It will all end in praise IJN!

Then what are you waiting for? Use that one sharpaly. 2012 still falls within 10 years, so you are good to go. You don't need payslips if the ref letter is provided in CIC format.

Hi Santino1,
Was it Studio 24 and were you charged for the USB copy?

No. I didn't apply from Nigeria and No, I didn't have to pay extra for soft copy.

Good afternoon Great people, please I have a little challenge. I did medicals last year November 26th for normal visa application, however I have not been able to do a current one for my EE. I waited till today to see whether the first one will expire but the doctor said she can't gain access to modify my profile. I don't know whether to wait or try another hospital. The doctor said she will send them a mail and give me a response but I have limited time. Kindly advise on what to do next. Thank you

Thanks. I called my former boss where i worked in a printing press as business development manager (2008-2012) to ask if he can give me a reference letter for this purpose. He told me he will gladly do it. So am going with noc 6411as it best suits what I did in the past. Just hope the period in question is still valid. Besides, am wondering if I should still put the banking experience in personal history. I can provide my employment letter and salary acct print out to prove this. What do u think

See eh no waste time get the reference letter use it,it falls within the last ten years You can put the remaining experience that you have in your personal history

They will notify you when payment is due, they will request your card details in the form, you fill it and fax to them, then they charge it.
The assessment was completed 3.5 weeks after Unilag had sent my transcript via e-mail & I had made payment.

Go and do a new one. You cannot use last year's own.

you're right 1212. excuse the error. but 6314 doesnt quite cover the head of operations, thats more like a head of customer service. 0122 is more encompassing.

Newmum0615:
Hmmm, I think Head of Ops is 6314 and Cash Officer/head Teller is 1212 sha. And teller is 1112 as you stated. My opinion though.

Please I need your assistance . I have completed my application for certificate evaluation on WES website. How do I go about the payment in Canadian dollar? I don't have dollar account
Can I use my local currency account to do the payment? Which mode of payment is the most efficient and reliable?

Please help me with complete breakdown.


Yes. You can use your Naira card. Choose credit card and enter your card details.
Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program-Connect Here Part 2 by victor83(m): 3:51pm On Nov 27, 2017
That is the issue. The hospital said they can't access my profile for a new one as my details are not allowing them upload the medicals done. So i can't do a new one as a different person.

dfanz:
Is your designation at your place of work Banking Account Officer? You alone know this as it varies from bank to bank. You need to confirm this so that your designation in your reference letter to be issued by your employer is not at variance with what you have written. ABO is just a grade and as such if you are promoted today, your job description and designation may not change.

With respect to your apparent ineligiblity, are you trying to create an EE profile? Confirm that you have had your educational credentials assessed, have your language test results and adequate POF. Also use the FSW tool to confirm you have up to 67/100.


I do not quite get you sir/Ma. ABO is my level at work and my Job description barely changed since my promotion 2 years ago,except the position of RM and Team Leader I once occupied and my Divisional Head demoted me to a Back-up RM upon return from Annual Leave. Though I double as a Relationship Manager, I am an Account Officer to several companies, Individuals and covers SME in a South-South State of Nigeria. I have gotten my WES assessed and document sent by courier. What do u mean by 67/100? when I calculated my score, I got 432 CRS.

Hello e-fam.

Calling on all PPRs and CoPRs in the house!

I have not heard any of our recent PPRs and CoPRs come here and talk/advise about their experiences with pre-arrival services with organisations such as "ACCESS Employment" and "Planning for Canada"

You can only enroll for this Pre-arrival services if you have NOT landed in Canada but already have your PPR or CoPR and have more than 8 weeks to spare in Nigeria before departure and guess what? IT IS FREE!! Pls do your research on this, if interested!
Hi Teecann, Nice job you’re doing on here and in za oza room.

I never knew about 8 weeks training. To our seniors in the know, can one be considered for this training if you have say about 6 weeks to departure? Any form of allowance or it’s a total no once the 8 weeks cannot be met?

I have not heard any of our recent PPRs and CoPRs come here and talk/advise about their experiences with pre-arrival services with organisations such as "ACCESS Employment" and "Planning for Canada"

These are organizations fully funded by the Government of Canada to offer free pre-arrival services and NOC-specific trainings (to aid ease of Canadian job environment transitioning) to PPR/CoPRs holders prior to their landing in Canada.

I just finished speaking with a friend that landed in Canny in September 2017 but before he left Nigeria, he and his wife availed themselves of the 8-weeks online trainings in their specific NOC and after the training, he tried his luck in applying to some jobs in the town he would be settling in, his attempts paid off as he got a job offer to resume upon landing.

He told me he attributed the job he got to the pre-arrival services online trainings he got (which reflected on his Canadian format-CV submitted for the job), the referral from one of the facilitators at a pre-arrival session he attended (which he said he actively participated in & got the attention and admiration of the facilitator that showed him the opening and recommended him)

You can only enroll for this Pre-arrival services if you have NOT landed in Canada but already have your PPR or CoPR and have more than 8 weeks to spare in Nigeria before departure and guess what? IT IS FREE!! Pls do your research on this, if interested!

My prepuz, don't let us be dulling good opportunities that will maximally impact our smooth settling in Canny, using such good valuable pre-departure time to be packing garri and ogbono alone is not smart o grin grin

You may choose to invest your pre-departure time wisely!!

It will all end in praise IJN!

Back in 2015 when I got COPR, I enrolled for the Planning for Canada pre-landing orientation session and through some mix up, they forgot to schedule I and my wife for an in-person session so they made arrangements for a 1 day, custom, online session for us. I logged from my office while my wife logged on from home and we had the session with a counselor in Canada where a lot was explained to us. Because I was already familiar with a lot of the concepts due to my personal research on settling in Canada since 2011, we were able to fly through a lot of the session content and get down to the nitty gritty. It was very helpful and validated a lot of what I already knew. Acces Employment was one of the post landing organisations recommended for further resume preparation, job search, networking and interview training and I had already heard of them from a friend who had landed earlier and passed through them. I landed and signed up for their Leadership Connections program, for persons with management experience and the wealth of knowledge passed across can not be quantified. The purpose of the training was not to give you a job but to prepare for the opportunities to get that job that fits your years of experience. Honestly, the information and network opportunities received, I could not have gotten it based on only trying to find a job online. The experience was so rich that I would get back home daily, share the tips and info with my wife who began to apply them in her job search and got a solid job before I finished the program in her field! I finished the program, took my time began to apply for jobs that were commensurate with my years of experience and skills and the rest is history. A lot depends on what you bring to the table, the ability to have an open mind, drop all the 'Nigerian behavior and mindset' we bring with us and diligently apply the principles they teach at these programmes. Six months after I came here, I landed a job that people who are here years before me still marvel at how I did it. I can't fail to give thanks for God's divine favour as I encourage you to take advantage of these training programmes. I have shared a list of some of them previously in the Living in Canada thread, just search backwards and read up. I can testify they really do make a difference.
